I recently decided to get in shape because apparently, that's what responsible adults do. I joined a gym, and the first day was like entering a parallel universe where everyone seemed to know what they were doing except me.
I'm on the treadmill, and there's this guy next to me running a marathon while simultaneously reading a novel. I can barely maintain a steady pace without feeling like I'm about to launch into orbit.
And don't even get me started on fitness classes. I tried yoga, and I swear the instructor was part contortionist, part zen master. Meanwhile, I'm just trying not to faceplant during downward dog.
But the real challenge is the diet. They say abs are made in the kitchen, but my kitchen is more like a fast-food crime scene. I'm at that age where I have to choose between a six-pack and a six-pack of tacos, and I'm leaning heavily towards the latter.
So, here I am, 29, attempting to sculpt a beach-ready body, but let's be real, I'm more of a "beach reads a book while occasionally sipping a cocktail" kind of person.
You ever notice how being 29 is like standing in the awkward doorway between your reckless 20s and the responsible 30s? It's like being stuck in the middle of a party where half the people are doing shots, and the other half are discussing their 401(k)s.
I'm 29, and it's this weird age where people expect you to have your life together, but you're still not sure if you should be investing in stocks or investing in a new collection of ironic T-shirts. My financial planner told me to diversify, so I bought T-shirts with cats on them. That counts, right?
And don't get me started on the existential crisis that comes with being 29. I'm at that age where I'm questioning my life choices, like, "Should I have pursued that career in interpretive dance? Would I be happier as a professional whistler?" I mean, I can whistle the 'Friends' theme song flawlessly.
So, here I am, 29, trying to adult, but also considering starting a petition to make napping an Olympic sport. Because let's face it, I've been training for that my entire life.
They say 30 is the new 20, but no one talks about how 29 is the awkward adolescence of adulthood. It's like being handed the keys to a car you're not entirely sure how to drive. Suddenly, you're expected to understand taxes, cook a gourmet meal, and fold a fitted sheet (seriously, is there a manual for that?).
I recently tried to assemble a piece of IKEA furniture, and let's just say the end result looked more abstract art than coffee table. I'm convinced IKEA instructions were designed by someone who speaks a language known only to them and maybe a highly advanced species of extraterrestrial beings.
And don't even get me started on the elusive work-life balance. They say you should have a hobby to destress, but at 29, my only hobby is debating whether I should start a hobby. Is existential crisis considered a hobby?
So, here I am, trying to adult like a pro, but in reality, I'm just winging it and hoping no one notices.
Dating at 29 is like playing a game of relationship roulette. You spin the wheel, and it lands on a choice between someone who wants to settle down and have five kids or someone who still thinks eating instant ramen for dinner is a perfectly acceptable life choice.
I recently went on a date, and the guy asked, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" Five years? I don't even know what I'm having for dinner tonight. I'm still at the stage where my long-term plans involve figuring out how to fold a fitted sheet correctly.
And let's talk about dating apps. They're like a buffet of romantic possibilities. Swipe left if you want someone who's into hiking and meditation. Swipe right if you're looking for a partner in crime who considers binge-watching Netflix a sport. My bio just says, "Looking for someone who won't judge me for eating ice cream directly from the carton." Surprisingly, I get a lot of matches.
So, here I am, 29 and navigating the dating scene like a confused GPS. Recalculating... recalculating.
